Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If alarm information is recorded and logical analysis is performed to determine network fault cause, then fault detection capability is improved, but efficiency of determining network fault root cause deteriorates due to large amount of data analysis required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary fault detection parameters from the large amount of alarm information, rather than analyzing all alarm data. The system identifies and extracts key parameters related to the specific fault type, eliminating the need to process unnecessary alarm information and significantly improving determination efficiency while maintaining accurate fault detection capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the fault determination process into distinct steps: receiving fault type information, determining detection parameters based on the fault type, and then performing targeted detection. This segmentation allows the system to focus resources on relevant parameters rather than analyzing all alarm information comprehensively, thereby improving efficiency without sacrificing detection reliability
2Productivity
If targeted fault detection is performed based on fault type and object identification, then efficiency of determining network fault root cause is improved, but complexity of the detection system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary classification of fault types and identifies fault objects before conducting detailed detection. By pre-categorizing the fault information and determining the specific detection parameters in advance, the system avoids the need for complex comprehensive analysis during the actual fault determination process, thereby improving efficiency while keeping the system structure relatively simple
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a universal detection parameter determination mechanism that can adapt to different fault types. The same system framework handles various fault types (link faults, device faults, service faults, etc.) by dynamically determining appropriate detection parameters based on the input fault type, eliminating the need for separate specialized detection systems for each fault type and thus reducing overall system complexity

AI summary
A method for determining a network fault root cause includes: receiving target network fault information entered by a user, where the target network fault information indicates that at least one network device is faulty or at least one service is faulty in a faulty network; determining a network fault type and identification information of a fault object based on the target network fault information, where the fault object includes the at least one network device or the at least one service; determining a fault root cause detection task based on the network fault type and the identification information of the fault object; and performing fault detection on the fault object based on the fault root cause detection task to obtain a fault root cause of the faulty network.
